Manually Attacking units

[DarkDenizen]

I need to have a unit that only attacks when it is ordered to, and doesn't automatically go after anything it sees. How would I go about this?

set Acquisition range to 0 and set unit type to worker

Setting the type to worker will make it run away if it is under attack. If it is a melee unit, just order it to hold position. Ranged, do what the last post said and set the Acquisition range to 0-100 depending on how close an enemy should be before it is attacked.

Erm, if you just set Can Flee to false, Worker works fine.

Also, Acquisition Range will interrupt the normal range (EG: if you have 9999 range and 100 Acquisition Range, you will have 100 range ingame.)

I don't think the Acquisition Range will affect the actual range if you command it to attack manually, of which the topic starter intended.

My way works ^ ???

Acquisition range is also the limit for range, Teh-omg. If you have 9999 range and 100 Acquisition range, you have 100 range. Best way to do is is worker classification and Can Flee = False

 

[Unscrewed_Magic]

Acquisition range is also the limit for range, Teh-omg. If you have 9999 range and 100 Acquisition range, you have 100 range

^, unless you manually cast attack

Acquisition range is the range at which the AI picks targets for you to chase or attack

Absolutely. Also, what if it is a hero?
